eating and corrective power, rather than to wait till the emer ency actually arase,..and then exercise an unwarranted and illegal uthority. An .Honourable , Gentletnan had said that the case f 1766,'t0 'which: his:Right .Honourable Friend had referred. id not apply to the present circumstances of the country.— iothing, is it appeared td - hint; could be more strictly. pplicable. Every point of the case seemed. , to correspond.-- Parliamentwas dissolved in June-of Ithtstryear, and called ogether again' in ..November. The speech' i made by the King. exactly such a speech as might naturally have been expect,: rem his presett Majesty in the Meeting of the next Parlia-i vent, if Ministers, :not having.- _applied for this power to 'arliament, had been compelled by circumstances to suspend he Corn LaWse, The. King .said to that. Parliament, that the :rest price, Aral .dthe: short supplies., of. grain, 'together with he -large exportations to the Continent, had ' induced him o call them together to. advise on, a subject so important to he poorer classes of his subjects, and that by the advice of his L'rivy Council he had in the mean time laid an embargo upon the he exportation of corn. Now he (Mr. Peel) was convinced that f Alinisters io the , present day had acted upon much a principle, hey would have been threatened with .an impeachment. The peech of the King, which he had just read, had been generally scribed to Lord Mansfield. But he would now read a passage rem a speech of that Noble Lord,, in which he maintained with ;reat eloquence principles entirely adverse to those which had ;tutted the conduct of Government upon the occasion to which he lad just referred. The Right Honourable Secretary then read a (mg passage front a speech of Lord. Mansfield, which consisted of in eloquent declamation against 'a dispensing power being exercised iy the Ministers of the Crown, and concluded with the words .hat the enemies: of the country were the proper objects of bold itlS, and not the Constitution." The Right Hon. Secretary cone auded by saying that, as a sincere friend to the agricultural inte yst, he .deprecated the rejection of this measure, as tending to pre udiee the future consideration of the general question of the Corn Laws. Mr. H. SUMMER explained. Lord .ALTHORP objected to the measure on the ground, that it placed. the .price of the produce of,every man's lam at Lie mercy of Ministers. He would therefore strongly press upon the How the ,expetlieney..of entering upon the general discussion (1 the c, or; 4. 4c5 , in preference to investing Ministers with this: ' a ngerons and unconstitutional power. CoIut4DAVLF,i, , although he voted on Tuesday. night for the other proposition, would vote.against,the Present :Ipqtien. Mr. ',8,81N ET T expressed his determination ,to oppose the motion... • Sir W. W. WYNN said a. few .words iii., support of dst:clea r sure. Mr. W. WHITMGRE said, that be would claim the, atten tion of the House for a short time betanse, : the subject which he ventured to introduce to their consideration„ and himself indi vidually-, had been the objects of attach during, the present *- bate. If he wanted a justification of the course he then took, he should ,lind it in the measure now before the House-, He was amazed at, the incopsisteney of the, Government. He knew of nothing ',which rend - ded the qucstion unfit to be investi gated in April, that .did not now exist, He should haVe preferred, as an agriculturist, to have a full inquiry into the question, to the medsure now proposed. He thought the conduct of Ministers was so inconsistent that it could not be de flnied. He was conscious of nothing which deserved the odium that litul been cast upon hips for bringing forward the question. Having Said:so much in justification of him Self, he wished to ask Whether the Government did not intend to explain how they meant t' , use this enormous power which was to be placed in their hands. He thought it likely to produce a fall of prices ruinous to the agri culturist, if the measure were left in its present naked state. He lamented that the law had not been altered ; and in objecting to this measure, he was contrasting it with one which must have beett preceded by dicussione, and fixed by limitations that would have given security to the agriculturist. Mr. Secretary CANNING assured the Hon. Member for Hridgnorth that he was quite mistaken if he supposed that he (Mr. Canning) had blamed hips for bringing forward his motion. He never said that he blamed him, although he did feel the incon veuience, and certainly should b'ave wished him not to bring it forward. . . Lord MILTON agreed with his Hon. and Worthy Friend (the Member for Denbighshire) in approying the change which had been W a d e since the postponement of , the. measure. He hoped the Hon. ,Baronet (the iiltiob.l for Sometsetithire). would now be convinced that the landed interest was neither unseen nor unfelt i 4 that H ouse . If Geutlennn would turn their minds to the whole question as he bad done, he was convinced they would see that there was not that danger in it which they so much apprehended. The true sense of the question was to promote the commerce of the country. Let 'there be commerce—let there be industry :Ttouraged, and then they would be sure of general prosperity. 'flat was the true sense of the question, and it was not by main tqning a irinnopoly, and favouring one class at the expence of others,. tliw the true interests of the nation were consulted.— (Hearin4ut althengh he thought the landed interest had not been by the Government, ho thought that House, as a branch of the Legislature, had been greatly misused by their nut adhering to what they had first .proposed, and upon which they ought to ; have made up their minds before they brought it forward. Air. CANNING—" Then, what is the use of discussion?" • Lord MILTON thought that the measure ought to hove been discussed before the Right Hon. Gentlethan brought it down to the Howe. If not, be knew not what was the use of holding, Githinct Councils. He was of opinion ,that the whole . question ought to have been inquired into during the present Session. Mr. CALCRAFT contended, that what the Right Him. Gen tleman called a modification of the measure first proposed, was a witluir4wal of it. C° lo 4el TRENCH thought the change which had been made in the measure of the Government bad taken the sting out of the scorpion's tail. He, was surprised that during the whole of these discussions, the state of Ireland had never been mentioned. Mr. T. WILSON saicithat he had come down to oppose the measure, but that the alteration was so great as to change his in-, tention. He witggested that it would be better to provide that the earn should only be admitted at two distinct periods, in quantities of 2 60,000 quarters each. Mr. IL Suxxxxa end Mr. CANNING mutually explained. Several of the last Speakers , had been heard with the utmost Impatien ce by the House, and the call for the question now be-, 4.uttio overpowering, and strangers were ordered to withdraw. 111 .! Gallery was cleared for a division, but the Resolution was '"g tc ut to Withont dividing the House. ~„ • the Ixtotiou of Mr. Secretary PEEL the . Aliens' Bill was read !lk third ti me , an d p asse d. , Th e Gardens and, Hot-houses ill was also read a third time, and passed. The Yorkshire Elections Bill was read the third time. The Irish Prison Laws Bill' was read a third time, and passed. Th e PFellSing of Ale Houses Bill was read a second time and committed for Monday. Pther Orders of the Day were disposed of, and the House aftlmirned Half-past -Twelve o'Clock to Monday. :A 'Correspondent says, , that from the result of Par liamentvcry and other inquiries, there appears to be upwards of one mallow members of Friendly Societies, and that these, for the most part, are held at public houses, and the members obliged, whether present or absevit, :to contribut e a certain sum to be expended in ! The nteeting s 'ate weekly or monthly, and the " spend ing looney') -waits • from 24. to 6,,1. ; presuming, however, the number to be amnillion, th e average amount to be 3d. each, and the Mectioga but 12 in it year, -and furtker, supposing that the members • never spend More , thing the allowance, the gross sum will tome out 150,000/. - per annum, enough to supply a three penny loaf . •of bread: per day constantly to thirty thousand indi viduate. This Is something like an argument against conducting Societieft as , publie houses. I ' enqUired of Patrick what age he was. "I am only twenty-six;" he answered, "hut I ought to be twenty-seven, for my nuither miscarried the year before I was born." Cervantes, the celebrated Spanish writer, was born at Madrid, in 151.2. Of his early life very little is known, but he served under Colonna, and lost his left hand at the victory of Lepanto. In 1574 he was taken prisoner by a Barbary corsair, and was ransomed, after five y&trs slavery, by a religious society. On his return to Spain, he had recourse to his pen for a subsist 'ore, but he seems to have gained niore . fame than profit, for' he wrote, the. first part of his inunortal work, Don Quixote, in pri son, where be WAS confined for debt. 'He died in 1616. A young Lady, residing at Bromley, lately sent a servant to a circulating library' at Sttatford, to procure How's 7 ' 4 les. • The servant by the way forgot the name of the book, 4 , 11 ' was greatly perplexed what to do; but, a ft er some cog i tat i on , 8 " thought 'she had hit it, and asked for " Pigs' tails."

LONDON, SA7'U.RDAY EVENING, MAY 6, 1826. The Resolutions . proposed by his Majesty's Mini sters relative to Foreign Corn were, with some modi fications, carried unanimously in the House of Com mons last evening: and we congratulate the Country on this triumph of liberal policy and justice, over the selfish and narrow-minded views of the Country Squires. It is another and a striking proof, that the .Constitution of the House of Commons, notwith standing the defects attributed to it by modern lie formers, works well together for the public good ; and that its elements are so happily blended, that the particular interests of one class of persons can never prevail over the general interests , of the people at large. We shall not weaken the force of Mr. CANNING'S arguments by .abbreviating thein here, but must refer our headers to the report of his powerful and bril liant speech, the effect of which was complete; and at once annihilated the hopes of the Landed Interest, to prevent the adoption of measures, the expediency, and necessity of which could not be:denied. To lessen, however, the unnecessary alarm which these Gentlemen felt at the consequences of the dis cretion proposed to be given to the Government, to open the, ports during the recess, Sr. CANNING suggested the restriction of this discretionary.power to the 'admission of 500,000 quarters ; and that the amount of duty . to be paid 'on Corn so adMitted into consumption, should be left to be determined by the Ministers, when the necessity of its introduction should arise, instead of being at this time fixed at 12s. per quarter. These modifiCations, and the irresistible arguments in favour of the measure, overpowered all opposition ; and the Country has been thus secured by the wisdom of His Majesty's Government from any alarming rise in the price of the most essential article of human sustenance. It is not anticipated that any further serious opposition to these measures will arise in either House of Parliament. Our Renders will observe by the proceedings in the House of Peers, that Lord LIVERPOOL last even ing, in moving the consideration of the amendments introduced by the Com Mons into the Bill for regulat ing Co-partnerships, commonly called the Bank Char ter Bill, announced the important fact, that the Bank of England' had decided, after a laborious examination by ,a Committee of its own Body, that they would establish Branch Banks. As yet, neither the details of the measure, nor the places at which these Branch Banks are to be established have been settled. His Lordship also stated, that Joint Stock Company Banks were forming ; and expressed his opinion, that this measure would be productive of very beneficial effects upon the state of the Country. In this ()pillion we to a certain extent coincide ; but being convinced, us we have stated on a former occasion, that the recurrence of such evils as have arisen out of our former Bankino - System would b e m os t effectually prevented by the establishment . of Chartered Banks, we cannot but regret that an arrangement has not been made with the Bank of England at almost any price, to surrender its exclusive Privileges at the present moment, when the whole system of our. Currency is under revision. A few years only will elapse before those Privileges expire, and the abandonment of them at this moment, at a fair remuneration, would have been worthy of the high reputation of the Bank, and of a liberal sacrifice en the part of the Nation. It will be observed, that Lord LIVERPOOL stated, ,in answer to a quest i on put to him by the Marquis of LANSDOWN, that the Bank advances to the manufacturers on ,Goods, have not amounted to much above 870,0001: Joint Stock Cornp ail i o are d a ily d ro ppu . 1 g to Eteces, and happy the man whose character, suffers frothing in the general wreck. The squabbles which arise out of the numerous failures, arc annising enough to those AO have not lost by speculations in the (rolden months of last year, but hundreds paid dearly for their fortune hunting freaks, and now mourn the loss of credit, capital, and character. In the public meetings which are held day after day for the, arrangement and wind ing up of affhirs in these bursting bubbles, one leading feature pervades the business-.the abuse of great men by greater knaves. Persons of rank have been worried into .oflice as Direetbrs, and the prospects of gain induced the mob to solicit Shares, and to traffic without limits all who sold at profits served their turns i but those who overstood their market, and now hold at the depreciated value, waste all the terms of scurrility: upon the Founders and' Directors. That many disgraceful transactions have been brought to light, cannot be denied,,. but this, perhaps, is the strongest reason that can be urged for discriminating between the good and , the bad, and who is there so indifferent to the subject that must not feel disgust at seeing men running about from meeting to meeting, levelling the same charges at all Directors, holding out the same threats to personsof all ranks, and intimi 7 dating better men than themselves, by ,submitting to their view all the hmors of a Chancery suit, instituted by crafty disappointed jobbers ? We have watched more than one defaulter, or technically speaking, " lame ducks" from meeting to meetuag—fellows, whom we know to have pocketed the profits half a hundred times by traffic in Shares, and supported the system through thick and thin, whilst advantageous to theinselees, but who are very ferrets wherever their de preciated Shares give a colour to their right of attend ance, but more of these persons anon;—in the mean time, Directors should know, that none but persons to whom shares were originally given live the sli g htest right to attend'a meeting, unless previously admitted as Proprietors by the consent of the rest ,of the Partners; nor can such persons establish tither a legal or an equitable. claim to a participation in the division of funds, and Shareholders who have signed Deeds, and complied with necessary conditions, should be aware that by admitting • these disappointed Speculators to a part even. in discussion, they increase the number who must share the :" remainders," and thus lessen their own proportion of, the funds. We trust, how ever, that we shall be found at , all times as ready to expoSe the misconduct of a guilty Director, as we are Willing to protect respectable men from the indiscri minate abuse of unfortunate Speculators, and disap pointed jobbers in Shares, for there are: no men so re gardless of common decency in language and man ners as knaves over-reached. In allusion to a charge that the Ministers had brought forward the measure of Corn Importation, from niotives of fear, Mr. - Peel took occasion, in his speech, to repel the insinuation, with a dignity and force, which will not be soon forgotten by hia oppo nents—his manly declaration that be would relieve the unfortunate to the utmost extent of his power, and fearlessly bring the leaders of tumult to justice, must have the best effect on the misguided offenders, and make a lasting impression on the public. We have inserted in another column, a statement of the Forces which by the latest accounts were as sembled before Bhurtpore, and also those which are stationed in Cutch. We have before mentioned the con fident expectation entertained in the best informed quarters, that the next arrivals will bring accounts of the successful operations of our Army in that part of India, and the high state of efficiency in which it is said to be, encourages every hope that these expec tations will be realised. Our accounts from all parts of the manufacturing districts are, this morning, very favourable. The ebul litions of popular feeling have, in a great measure, subsided, and every thing now betokens a return to, peace and tranquillity. We subjoin the following from Manchester : (FEO.NI OUR OWN CORRESPONDkNT.) -'; • ?MANCHESTER, MAY 5,1826. ‘ , l Half past • eight (yesterday. ) " Peace and order are at length re:demi; but whether we shall• have a Continuance 19 (1011)a111-,-ethp liktne s pirit I fear prevails, - but glare not chew itself; the militiry . dbree is . very strong tlivt continues to increase.' - • "'There has been a serious riot at IBrsulford—tle particulars have not reached us at present ; beveral , ind many dan gerouttly wounded:" it 211T411 dcLocr.

The above report, as well as that of the Russian army receiving orders to approach the Turkish frontiers, caused some sensation ; but it is generally thought that the above are inventions of the Bears to 'depress the Funds.

Thu Lords present were—the Earl of Harrowhy, as President ; the Master of the Rolls, Lord Stowell, Lord Bexley,, ancl Lord Colchester. The first case brought, under their Lordships' notice, was a motion on the part of the Baron de Bode, for a rehearing, their Lordships having, on a former occa sion, affirmed the award of the Commissioners, reject ing the Baron's claim. Mr. Carr opened the motion, in which he was fol lowed by Mr. Brougham stating that additional evi dence had been procured, which they hoped would in. duce their Lordships to revise the judgment. The King's Advocate-General and Mr. Tindall were heard on the part of the Commissioners. Mr. Carr replied, after which Counsel were ordered to withdraw for a short time, and on their re-admission their Lordships pronounced their decision, delivered by the Master of the Rolls, that their former judg ment could not be disturbed.

SCIENTIFIC INTELLIGENCE. ROYAL. SOCIETY, MY 4. At the Meeting this evening, a Paper was read by Lieutenant DrUmmond, on the method of facilitating the observat:on a 44iistant stations in geodesical operations. In all trigonometrical surveys, the greateet • 'source of difficulty and delay (especially in bad climates) has been the itnpracticabili ty of distinguishing the stations, excert in clear weather. To remedy this evil, several expedients have been proposed. Those here described are of a twofold kind —the tint eonsists.of a , inireor so mounted as to be capable of turning with the sun ' s motion, so as to throw its rays exactly in the hoe to the observer at the distant station. This has been found efficacious even in the most hazy state of the atmosphere, at distances of nearly 60 The second method consists of the new plan of producing !nil liant light, which we mentioned a few days ago . . 'Various forms of combustion, &c. had been tried without effect; the plan at last which was found to succeed consisted in beating to incandeNcence small balls of lime or magnesia,&c. (lime being found to an.swer beet), by the flame of a spirit lamp urged with oxygen. The light thuspro duced was found, by comparison, more intense than that of the brightest lamps, &c. in a very high ratio. In one instance, (when placed in the focus of a reflector) the eye could hardly bear it at 40 feet distance. Some instances of its perfectly successful appli cation in surveying operations were given. Some experimexits were also subjoined on the chemical proper ties of this light, which are highly interesting. It was found to , resemble the solar light in having an action upon a mixture of chlorine and hydrogen; and when analystsl, its violet ray blacken, ed muriate of silver—properties which have hitherto been found in no other light than in that of the sun and of galvanism. Some additional expel intents are given in a postscript by Mr. Herschel, in which the optical properties of this light, as exhi.; kited in its prismatic spectrum, are detailed. IMroaTANT DISCOVERY.—One of the greatest discoveries ,yet made in navigation has transpired, although the patent has been abandoned in consequence of the technicalities of the patent laws, and the probabilities of litigation.—Three-fourths of the fuel now used in steam-navigation will he saved, the vapour of quicksilver is substituted fur steam with similar maehinery, and a few pre cautions to prevent any aste of the metal by a piPe on the safety valve, &c.

TIIE LITERARY LOUNGER. , ,We;!have lately, come- acre atoontllly publication under the above Ode, and, considering, the.pnblishers' natues,tllemrs. yams, &c., which we see on the wrapper, are somewhat ,su. prised that it should not be more known. It is the joint produc tion, us we understand, of some half dozen youthful authors, with the occasional assistance of their friends, and they appear to us to have made a very suctvssful debut. • from the style of writing, which is amusing enough, it seems more adapted to " while away, the paasing hour," than to.yield instruction to the reader, and leaves political and theological dis cussiotut to learned statesmen and reverend divines. The wrap, per is peculiarly neat and chaste in, its appearance, and taking .the publication altogether, it seems, well suited to occupy a vacant place on the table of " Literary Loungers" of fashion of the prO sent day.
